Happy Birthday to Natali

Yesterday was Natali's big #2 birthday. We had a great day. The night before while she was asleep I put up a few balloons and streamers. That morning I went in and got her up and she just got so excited to see the decorations. She ran out of her room, threw her hands in the air, and exclaimed..."Happy Birthday to Natali" We sang her the birthday song, which she joined in with us and ate pancakes. That morning we went to the mall so she could play in the play area (which she LOVES) and then she helped me decorate her butterfly cake for the party later that night. As you will see in the picture, I think more of the candy decorations made it into her little tummy than on the cake. But, overall she did most of the work (as far as the M&M's and Skittles go). Ben came home early from school and we took her to the nearby aquatic center to play in their kid pools. Dad even went down one of the big steep slides which Natali thought was pretty cool to watch. She is really starting to enjoy the water! That night we had a few friends come over and the Wilson's to sing and eat cake. Afterwards the few kids went out onto the lawn and blew bubbles with some bubble wands. It was so fun to see Natali get so excited and actually talk about her birthday party. The pictures are pretty self explanatory. Enjoy!
